" Kiara wake up or you are going to be late for school ! " yelled ms Karla.
"Coming mom ! " said Kiara but still didn't get up . When her mom entered the room and saw her sleeping she decided to throw a glass of water to her face .
"MOM ! What are you doing? Look at my clothes and pillow, there all wet ."
"Get up now or you're going to be late for school. It's the first day . You now are a university student and being late is not good . "
"Thanks for the advice mom but could you wake me up in a normal way next time ?"
"It would be better for you if there wasn't a 'next time ' ever again ! All right sweetie ? "said Kiara's mom while smiling at her with a silent and scary pressure coming from her smile .
" I am dead meat if I do it again." said Kiara to herself .
After dressing she went to ate breakfast in the kitchen with the rest of the family .
"Good morning sister ! "
"Good morning James and Justin !"
Kiara looked around and didn't se her dad .
"Mom where is dad ? "
"He is sleeping . "she said with her eyes becoming sad .
"Oh ....is that so . Well don't worry mom . "
Kiara's family was wealthy until her father lost his job . Now they are like another normal family . Her father started drinking and became really negative about everything .
"Don't you worry mom ! As the eldest child I will make sure that you have the best life, after i finish school. " said Kiara to herself . Her eyes caught the clock .
"Hey sis ! Listen to this , apparently your school has been chosen from the ro.. "
"Crap , I'm super late . " said Kiara .
"But sis listen to this .." said James .
"Sorry James but I'm really late , tell me when I get home okay . " And than ran off to school as if her life depended on it .
"What a troublesome sister ! It's been four years already and she still wakes up late . "
"Indeed son . I'm really worried about the time when she finds a job . "
"Hey Justin, mom look at this ! "said the little James , the youngest brother .
" What is it sweetie? " said mom and went to sit near him .
"As I said sis school is chosen to be the one which prince Sky will attend. It's the latest news on the internet everyone is talking about it and it seems like the fee places of the university are all booked by the daughters of rich people . "
"Really ! Then I did a great job in waking her up . Maybe she may marry him . "
There was a two minute pause to imagine the scene . The three of them looked at each other and at the same time said :
"NO WAY ! "
"What a waste that she can't be a little bit more feminine. "
"Mom please wake up ! It's Kiara we are talking about. You know Kiara and I attended the same school . A lot of boys liked her but she was too dense to understand. Seriously, I pitied them . And all the boys who challenge her are easily defended , in this aspect she isn't considered a girl . No girl can defeat 5 boys twenty centimeters taller than her , even I that am a guy can't do that . She is short but strong .
"Maybe but how can you be so sure that she won't reach the prince's eye . Sis is known as an elite student . Every teacher praises her even the scholarships she has won are a lot .
"James she is smart . I don't deny that , thank god but she is too dense . You are to young to understand."
"Oh no ! I'm so late . "said Kiara while running on her way to get to school .
After running like crazy she arrived at the school gate two minutes before the bell rang . At the door was the guardian who looked at her with a serious annoyed face . The guardian was all mussels and huge like a gladiator . Kiara tried to enter without being noticed the moment she saw him yelling at some other student . She was ready to burst into tears from fear .
"I feel really sorry for her , poor girl "
Kiara knew it wasn't her problem but she really couldn't stand seeing others being bullied .
"Ah damn it Kiara ! This generous ,kind hearted character of yours will get you in serious trouble one day . I know it even myself but I can't do anything about it . " said she to herself .
"Hey sir ! Can't you see that this girl is terrified ? Hasn't she understood it already ! She apologized and promised to never come back late again , what else do you want ? " said Kiara with a serious face . The guardian then turned towards her .
"Hey missy ! You are lucky that I let you off cause I don't have time to deal with minor things . Now go to class before I make sure you go to the director 's office and receive a good suspension for about a week before the semester starts.
"If you are referring to my height than don't bother trying to make me feel inferior . Do you know that Napoleon Boneparti was also short but this didn't stop him from winning lots of battles and becoming the king of France . In a few words mister with a gladiator's look you can go to the director's office and we will see who gets suspended me or you . Now that I have nothing left to say , I shall take this poor student with me and leave ."
He was burning with anger . Kiara chuckled a little and grabbed the girl's hand .
"Are you alright ? You don't have to be scared anymore . "
"Thank ...you !"
"Your welcome ! But you have to be strong for yourself . My name is Kiara and yours ? "
"My name is Emily . It's a pleasure meeting you . I hope we can be friends . "
"Sure . If someone bullies you in the future tell me and I will beat them really bad . "said Kiara while making a punch to determine her words . Emily laughed .
"Now that we are free from that gladiator we can search for our class .
Kiara and Emily went towards the board with the name and class but it was full of students . "
"Emily can you try and see our names since you're taller than me . "
"Sure Kiara .
Emily tried but with no result . There were a bunch of students on the board and a lot more students in the garden . It seemed like the school was about to explode by the number of the people in there .
"Don't you think is weird Emily ?! There are definitely more students than the number of enrolled people . I mean if all of these were students then the school should be twice as big . Something must be happening here . "
Emily made a shocked face while staring at Kiara who was trying to find the reason of why it was so crowded .
"I can't believe there's actually a girl who's not informed about your arrival Sky and she doesn't seem to care much . This is hilarious ! Wait till you hear this . "murmured Emily .
"Did you say something Emily ? "
"No , I didn't . So did you discover the reason ? " said Emily while trying to hold herself from laughing .
"Well as far as I know no contest is taking place here , no scholarships exam , no seminar . To be sincerely even if there was one of this alternatives happening today I don't think it would get so much people . Most of the population is lazy . "
Emily couldn't keep it in anymore and started to laugh with all her might .
"Why are you laughing ? "
"Cause girls like you are really rare ! "
"What do you mean ? I don't get it . "
"Haven't you read the news ? "
"No I haven't . Before I left home my little brother wanted to tell me something he saw on the net but I rushed out of the house in a hurry and didn't listen to him . "
"Then let me tell you . Today his royal highness crown prince Sky will attend this university . That's why there are a lot of people . They want to enroll in this school but apparently it full and there's no space left ."
Kiara stayed silent for a couple of minutes and said :
"WHAT ?! Let me get this straight . A crown prince with chances of entering the royal academy has decided to follow his studies in a simple private school like this ! Are we in some kind of novel here or is that prince just dumb ?"
“Dumb ?!”
“Yes ! The royal academy " Golden knowledge " , it's been my dream to study there before I entered high school but I didn't have the right financial situation to go there . “
Emily looked at her for a second.
“If your family has financial problems then how are you able to attend this school ? It's not the royal academy but still is an expensive school . “
”It's all thanks to the fact that I won a scholarship . “
“Your intelligent , nice .”
”Anyway I worked really hard to achieve excellent grades . While facing all those difficulties on the way I learned that I had other talents . To tell you the truth I wasn't sure if I was to...., to study there but because of a family problem I was forced to give up . ”
“You were chosen for a full scholarship ?! For high school ?!“
Emily's look was shocked . She knew very well that it was practically impossible for simple people with no financial support . Also for scholarships students the requirements of being chosen were hard . Only a few people who turned out to be genius were chosen as scholarships students . Not to mention that the high school program was tighter than the university program .
”I didn't say that I won . I passed the two rounds but I wasn't able to make it in the third and final round so I was disqualified .“
“Cause of the family problems ?”
“Yes ! “
Kiara became sad just from remembering .
“How did your family began to have financial trouble ? ”
“It's been three years since my dad lost his job and from that moment awards I didn't lead a peaceful life . I became adjusted to the "new" world surrounding me . ”
“Why did your father lost his position in the family ? What work did he do ? ”
Emily was unable to stay calm . She wanted to know the reason why she refused the scholarship . Emily started to ask even more questions . Kiara began to understand that she was trying to know more than allowed and then said :
”You know Emily, you are a nice girl. I can tell that but I just met you and seriously don't expect me to answer those questions . They are a little too private don't you think ?! “
Kiara's pure brown and naive eyes were piercing their serious sight in Emily's eyes . Emily thought that she was cool and scary at the same time .
She began to understand that she couldn't get any information from her instead she would only gain her anger . Emily decided to leave this topic to the detective of her family.
”I'm sorry for being impolite Kiara . I won't mention it anymore. “
“Good . It seems that there aren't so many people at the board so I am going to check the class we are in . Will you come ? ”
“You go ahed first cause I have to make a phone call . “
“What about the class where you are in ? “
”Don't worry. I will see it myself but I have to make this call even if it would take awhile cause my mom talks too much .”
“Hahaha ! Same as mine .”
Both girls laughed and then Kiara left .
Emily took her phone out .
“Hello , my lady ! With what can I help you with ? ”
“I want you to take a look at the archives of scholarship participants . Among the ones who failed check the student name Kiara . ”
“And her surname my lady ?”
“I forgot it . Anyway if more than one Kiara show up send me a photo and I will tell you whose the one you need to get more detailed information about . “
“Yes my lady ! “
Emily was about to put her phone in the pocket when it rang . She saw Sky's name and decided to answer.
”Look who finally called ! Me and Sebastian have called you more than a thousand times . Where are you now ?“
“Come on Emily ! Don't start . I have gone through a lot of troubles with the Tech company in California . ”
“Couldn't you use your powers ? “
“Stupid ! “
“You know grandpa would cut all of my money if I did .”
“You are right ! Anyway I was about to call you to to inform you that we signed the contract with the company in Japan . “
“Great , now only Paris and Berlin are left . ”
“Yes but your dad called us when we were in the plane and he said that he would take care of it . You have to come here at school since is the first day . ”
“Do I really have to ?! “
“Yes you do ! “
“Are there a lot of people ? “
“Yes so it's better if you wear a disguise . “
“How annoying ! “
“Don't worry! Not all the girls here like you . “
”What do you mean ?!”
”I encountered a very interesting girl here . Her name is Kiara . She is really kind and strong . I faced some trouble with the guardian . He was scaring me to death and she helped me and faced him without fear even though he was way taller than her . We chatted a little and she turned out to be intelligent too . ”
”Intelligent ! Well most of the girls I have encountered till now are stupid apart from you . “
“That's cause we are one in our kind .
But she is intelligent cause she thinks you are really dumb ! ”
“What , are you making fun of me ?”
“No I am not . You'll see for yourself when you come here. Maybe she can fix that boring , serious and cold character of yours .”
”Hahahahaha ! Oh please don't make me laugh . I am vampire after all my blood is meant to be cold . “
“We'll see . I will wait for you in class .... Wait a minute until I check where my name is ?”
The board was too far so she used her super vampire sight to see everything .
“How lucky we are in the same class , 1-D! Me , you and Kiara . “ said Emily.
“Nice , then we will meet soon . “ said Sky .
“Yeah ! I have to go now so don't be late . “ said Emily .
“No I won't . “ said Sky .
The call ended .
“Where do you want to go now your highness ? “asked the driver .
“Law university . Fast .” ordered Sky .
“Yes your highness . “said the driver .
‘It's rare for someone to pick Emily's interest . I'm curious who it may be ?’ though Sky to himself while awaiting to arrive at the university .
